All of the real heroes are not storybook combat fighters, either.

All of these are "heroes" to me.

So we would like to say he is a father rather than a hero.

So I imagined such a hero, one who had no choice but to try to live up to the legend because otherwise the people looking to him for hope would be truly lost.

I believe - heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
